True Alpha
{{tAlpha|size: medium; margin-left: 5px; float: right}}A True Alpha is a canine werecreature who is said to become an [[alphas|alpha]] solely by the strength of their character, their virtue and sheer willpower. They are the rarest kind of alpha, shrouded in myth and is said to appear once in a 100 years.
 
Given this rarity and mythical status, the information stated about them (and on this page) may be subject to hyperbole or distortion from being passed down through the centuries. Scott's statement of "I'm a true Alpha. You have no idea what I can do." in [[3x17 - Silverfinger]] is a subtle bit of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LampshadeHanging|lampshading]] to this point as neither the Twins, Scott, nor the audience truly know what a True Alpha can do.
 
Supernatural Rules 
A werewolf cannot attain [[True Alpha]] status if they ever kill someone.
 
A True Alpha's power can only be taken by a [[Betas|beta]] turned by their own [[Alphas+The Bite|bite]].
